Can this be used with a multi-channel A/V receiver? I'm looking for a compact solution that can take the speaker outputs from my receiver.

This has a coax input and a 2 channel rca input and then a third stereo input. This would be very limiting if you tried to use it for high quality sounds. In theory, yes it would work but it would be worthwhile to buy something that costs a bit more for better quality. This is the equivalent of louder tv speakers.

It might, but it only has outputs for one set of speakers. You probably want a receiver with two sets of speaker outs. It might work, or the impedance of two speakers might be too much for it.

The amp has four pair of RCA Stereo jacks on the rear and a standard 3.5mm stereo jack on the front, for a total of five inputs. Provided the receiver has the ability to output to another amp or device this should not be a problem. As an alternative, if the receiver has a headphone jack, you could make a direct connection to the 'Aux-In' jack on the front of the amp. Finally, I imagine that the receiver must have speaker output terminals which could easily be attached to some old RCA cables and connected to a pair of the rear inputs.

The speaker outputs on the rear of this unit are typical for left channel , right channel, sub speakers. I tested this receiver so please read my review as I don't recommend it for it lack of power and sound quality. It does not compare to a Pioneer receiver. To buy the Sherwood only for the HD channels is not worth it because at most you will get 3 HD radio stations in your area.

Short answer, yes. But you won't be able to split the channels (L/R) on your interface. As you are going into a mono input this shouldn't be an issue.

the advice I found, and only after trying it with Bi-wired with my receiver, was unless you actually have two amps to power the speaker, wire it with the bridge in place via the single channel. You won't notice enough change with it bi-wired, and you only end up losing a pair of channels that you could otherwise use for rear surround or a second zone.

i have mine connected to my receiver, but i don't see why it will not work with your preamp, as long that it has the required inputs.

It is able to send audio and video via HDMI. I have not tried specifically feeding this to a receiver but don't see any reason why it would not pass through a multi channel signal

If you are asking about adding extra mic to the same receiver then my reply you can not. This unit is only good for 2 channels.

This is not really a splitter - it's a switch. If you want to drive the two separate receivers simultaneously from a single source, this is probably not the product you need. You could search for a/v splitters to find an appropriate product. If you want to choose which of the two receivers gets the phono preamp output at any particular time, it should work with no noticeable loss of sound quality.

I am not familiar with what you are currently using but I would think so. You can use two separate systems (amplifiers supporting two separate and distinctly different set ups) and go to the same speakers to listen to each sound system.......or into six other zones or speaker setups. The box is very high quality and performs perfectly for my application. Again, I power a Pioneer audio/video system for TV and accessory video stuff into a big surround system; then I share those speakers with a separate dedicated HI-FI system. If I could afford to put speakers in other rooms (zones), then the unit could drive up to six additional areas. Hope this helps.

What receiver...? This is a switching device, splitting 2 channels into 4 speaker pairs. Yes it can be hooked up and operated to run 4 living room speakers and your outside speakers. You may experience some volume loss, but it would still work fine.

Yes, I do the same thing running 2 sets of speakers on the "B" Channel and 1 set on the "A" channel. Shouldn't matter what brand of receiver.

Hi, I purchased this amp for a two channel configuration, and I am very happy with the results; it has much more power and more fidelity than an integrated receiver. I think that maybe you only have to configure your system to provide the same power level to all the speakers; if not, the front speakers will sound louder than the rest. Regards.

Yes, that is what I use one of mine for. I have a computer that feeds two completely separate left/right speaker systems. Although some earlier reviews stated that this actually split the audio into a left and a right channel, it actually duplicates left and right in both outputs as I expected. You can easily verify this by plugging in stereo ear buds into each output and moving the audio balance from left to right.

If your speaker connection on the receiver takes rca's, you can try it. in place of the center speaker. If it won't work it won't work.

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.
